My download of the file keep stopping a quarter of the way through the download, like the file is corrupt or something.

Sorry to hear that Kevin. I just tried the Direct download link in both Firefox and Internet Explorer and they worked fine for me.

I have attached the zipped setup file to this post. I hope this helps.

Thanks Mister Slimm for the fast response. The zipped file downloaded fine. I dunno what happened before because I tried IE, Firefox, and Opera and they all did the same thing, but then again I am on a dialup connection so anything is possible. Thanks for the neat program.

Somewhat disagreeably, since Microsoft's last batch of updates (including the WMF exploit fix) and Nvidia's latest driver release (81.98), the same thing has been happening on my system too. Time to say goodbye to the splash screen I guess.

Also since those two updates, I can't use the Display control panel applet :confused: :mad: . I imagine that's just me though...

Mister Slimm.....have you done a release that removes the splash screen at startup?

The next release will remove the splash screen (or, to be more accurate, will make it user configurable). A beta release can be found here and, as with all beta software, it may contain bugs etc. Give it a shot.

Loaded it as is and now the splash works....

This is an awesome plugin.

I have a request though.

Could you make it so that SlimmGBPVRTray can notify you if a recording is starting, or when a show is about to start (not going to record, just watch)? Something like a pop-up or a ballon notification in a pre-set amount of time before the recording?

I find that when I'm doing some work on my computer I lose track of time and sometimes, I miss the beginning of shows. It would be cool if there was some sort of alarm incorporated into the SlimmGBPVRTray so that you get notices when a show is about to start.

Thanks. Cool idea. Let me understand this clearly, though. You would like a notification of when a programme, not a recording, is about to start. (A balloon is already shown when a recording starts.) If that is your suggestion, I like it and will add it to my wish list.

Yeah a programme. Maybe the ability to show the pop-up/ballon-tip a configurable number of minutes before the show starts.

Oh yeah. How do you change options in SlimmGBPVRTray? Is it even possible?

Any chance of putting a time limit on how far after an event that the pop-up balloon will pop-up? I'm occasionally getting a balloon popping up several hours after a recording has finished. I'm also sometimes getting balloons popping up and telling me something again when I come out of GB-PVR.

The other thing I noticed was when I was doing a back-to-back recording on the same channel earlier this week. Everything happened as you'd expect on the first recording, but when the second recording started, a balloon popped up and told me that the first recording had just started (again!). I can't remember if I got a balloon telling me that the first recording had finished.

Apart from these two minor niggles, I like your replacement tray util. Thanks.
